Relationship of the nervous system with human behavior
System endocrine
is a series of glands that produce and secrete hormones that the body uses for a wide range of functions
The main hormone-producing glands are:
Hypothalamus
is responsible for body temperature, hunger, moods and the release of hormones from other glands; and also controls thirst, sleep and sex drive.
Pituitary
Considered the "master control gland," the pituitary gland controls other glands and makes the hormones that trigger growth.
Parathyroid
This gland controls the amount of calcium in the body.
Pancreas
This gland produces the insulin that helps control blood sugar levels.
Thyroid
The thyroid produces hormones associated with calorie burning and heart rate
Adrenal
Adrenal glands produce the hormones that control sex drive and cortisol, the stress hormone.
Pineal
This gland produces melatonin which affect sleep.
Ovaries
Only in women, the ovaries secrete estrogen, testosterone and progesterone, the female sex hormones.
Testes
Only in men, the testes produce the male sex hormone, testosterone, and produce sperm.
Hormones are produced by glands and sent into the bloodstream to the various tissues in the body. They send signals to those tissues to tell them what they are supposed to do.
These control many different bodily functions, including:
Respiration
Metabolism
Reproduction
Sensory perception
Movement
Sexual development
Growth
Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind. It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord.
The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
Like a central computer, it interprets information from our eyes (sight), ears (sound), nose (smell), tongue (taste), and skin (touch), as well as from internal organs such as the stomach.
The spinal cord is the highway for communication between the body and the brain.
When the spinal cord is injured, the exchange of information between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted.
Endocrine system and behaviour
hormones that are secreted within it through the glands intervene in various processes in the human body such as:
growth
repair
digestion
homestasis
sexual reproduction
Adrenaline: better known as the stress hormone, it allows the body to react in an emergency
Endorphins: stimulate pleasure and have a relaxing effect on the body
Cortisol: this hormone activates the production of adrenaline and regulates its release in the body. At low levels, there may be pictures of discouragement and fatigue, but at high levels anxiety, tachycardia and nervousness.
Thyroid: these hormones in high levels produce anxiety, while in the opposite case they can cause depression and chronic fatigue.
Serotonin: this hormone influences certain aspects such as the appearance of hunger or its absence, its deficit is associated with depression
Dopamine: this hormone is associated with the regulation of memory and cognitive processes associated with learning. the greater presence of dopamine is associated with the taste and enjoyment of strong emotions
Oxytocin: the greater presence of oxytocin in our body favors social relationships, on the other hand, low levels give rise to sadness and depressive states.
Melatonin: the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles. A melatonin deficiency will cause insomnia and weaken other cognitive processes such as attention and memory.
Central nervous system and behaviour
the nervous system sustains itself and affects cognitive functioning, learning, and behavior.
the behavior of a subject and environmental stimuli modify the functioning of neurons.
the neuron-behavior relationship is specific since certain types of neuron groups are only involved with some behaviors. Due to the interconnections that exist between different brain regions, different types of nerve regions can participate in behaviors.
The nervous system is the command center for the activity that occurs within the body and all behavior that man emits in response to the environment
Good nervous system function contributes to emotional stability and encourages appropriate behavior in individuals.
Any damage or injury suffered by the nervous system can cause serious emotional and psychological damage and can cause alterations in sensory stimuli
In order to carry out correct behaviour humans have developed innate drives, desires, and emotions and the ability to remember and learn. These fundamental features of living depend on the entire brain
Emotional responses, cognitive processes, every voluntary act like walking, and every involuntary act like breathing, are directed by the nervous system
Set of manifestations of the organism, such as observable ones (gestures), those regulated by the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. It allows a function of relationship with the environment and adapting to it.
